Neuropsychiatric Sle

IntroductionIt is well known that seizures and psychosis are diagnostic criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), however, there could be many other neuropsychiatric symptoms. The American College of Rheumatology Nomenclature provides case definitions for 19 neuropsychiatric syndromes seen in SLE (NPSLE), including cognitive impairment, psychosis, mood and anxiety disorders. Lack of specific manifestations difficult diagnosis and treatment.ObjectivesTo address the diagnostic difficulties that involve the appearance of hypomanic symptoms in the course of SLE treated with high doses of corticoids in a patient with a depressive episode history.MethodDescription of case report and literature revision. We report the case of a 22-year-old woman who presented irritable mood, sexual disinhibition, insomnia and inflated self-esteem. The patient was recently diagnosed with SLE and was on treatment with 50 mg/d prednisone. She had familiar history for bipolar disorder and was taking 20 mg/d paroxetine since the last 6 months after being diagnosed with major depressive episode.ResultsWe proposed differential diagnosis between psychiatric symptoms secondary to central nervous system SLE involvement, a comorbid bipolar disorder or prednisone-induced mood symptoms. Fluctuation of hypomanic symptoms during hospitalization, poor relationship with variation in corticosteroid doses, findings on brain MRI compatible with vasculitis and positive antibodies, oriented this case to a neuropsychiatric manifestation of LES.ConclusionsWe should keep in mind that symptoms of neuropsychiatric SLE may vary from more established manifestations of NPSLE to mild diffuses ones. More studies are needed to expand knowledge in the relationship between mood disorders and neuropsychiatric SLE.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

We present a fatal case of West Nile virus meningoencephalomyelitis initially misdiagnosed as COVID-19 in a 63-year-old Egyptian woman with a previous diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. The patient’s medical history and immunosuppressive therapy, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, substantially broadened the differential diagnosis of her encephalitis.

Systemic Examination

An 18 years old female presented with several episodes of convulsions followed by unconsciousness. On admission, her Glasgow Coma Scale was 3, and other neurological and systemic examination revealed no abnormality. Initially it appeared to be a case of viral encephalitis with a background probability of glomerulonephritis. Differential diagnosis was uraemic encephalopathy and seizure disorder. However, finally it was diagnosed as a case of CNS Lupus - a rare presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Key words: Convulsion; glomerulonephritis; encephalitis; lupus.
